Melinta gains BAXDELA® approval from FDA

Melinta Therapeutics reports that the FDA has approved BAXDELA® (delafloxacin) for the treatment of adult patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by designated susceptible bacteria.

This supplemental approval follows FDA priority review based on the previous Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation, which provides certain incentives for the development of antibacterial and antifungal treatments for serious or life-threatening infections. more
